Welcome to the Coffey Cousins’ Clearinghouse Website Coffey Cousins' Clearinghouse is a genealogy site created to assist researchers with Coffey or Coffee ancestors. This web page and all attached web pages were designed by and are the property of Jack K. Coffee. The Coffey Cousins' Clearinghouse was the child of Leonard N. Coffey (1930-1989), and began with his newsletter to help bring together a very loosely organized group of genealogists researching their Coffee/Coffey ancestors. After Leonard died in 1989, his family gave the newsletter to Bonnie Culley. Bonnie has been the editor and publisher since that time, celebrating her 20th year as editor at the 2009 Coffey Cousins’ reunion in Russell Co., KY. She has now asked me to take over the duties of editor and publisher. I hope I can do as good a job as she has over the previous 20+ years. The group of people who annually attend the Coffey Cousins’ Convention are, as termed by former and long time "president" Jeff Coffey of San Antonio, TX, a "disorganized organization" with no constitution, by-laws or other legal documents to impede the fun and fellowship that the annual conventions attempt to foster. Those who attend the annual convention are responsible for electing adult leadership. They are merely figureheads who do the bidding of the rest of us. Of course, that’s a joke. We depend on them to keep things running smoothly, especially the annual gathering. Officers for 2012 are: President Danny Coffey of Jamestown, KY, Vice-president Gail Bachman of Baltimore, MD, Secretary Nelda Coffee of Sunset, LA and Treasurer Wanda Coffey of Jamestown, KY. |
